Sweet Southern cornbread
One of my favorite foods that I've discovered when I moved to the south is cornbread. I never imagined how many different ways you can enjoy this simple little bread. We have a restaurant called 131 Main here in North Carolina, they are known for their amazing grilled artichokes and their sweet cornbread. It oozes with sweet butter and brown sugar. I make a cornbread casserole that has some of the ingredients that I have chosen to put in my recipe. Those ingredients along with my take on 131 Main's amazing cornbread makes this so moist and sweet, it could even be a dessert! Enjoy!
